Dog Boarding Santa Clara

“Cindy was so great with Enzo! She kept me updated on how he was around other dogs, let me know how he did on walks and informed me that he was doing great. I really appreciated the fact that she had some background with training dogs and understood that my dog could get vocal and that it wasn’t a sign of aggression. Enzo was very happy after staying with her and I will definitely be reaching out to her again :)”

“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. ​Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her again!”

“Lea is so awesome. She takes great care of my dog. My dog Yuki looked happy when she stayed with Lea. Lea also sends many updates throughout the day proactively. This is my first time using Rover, I believe Lea gave me a great experience. I would definitely rebook her in the future if her schedule allows.”

“I would like to express my family's gratitude to Gianina for taking an extraordinary care for Lola! She was very attentive to Lola's routine and needs and embraced Lola as she was part of her family! My dates changed and Gianina was extremely supportive and generous with my new dates and this was big relief for our family as we knew that Lola is being loved by Gianina and her family. We highly recommend her for being professional, caring and loving, flexible and attentive to Lola's needs. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping my family during our Christmas break!”

“I really appreciate Natallia watching ALL 4 of my cats. She did a fantastic job. They were spoiled and they did not want to leave her home. Natallia provided me pictures and updates of my fur babies. I had peace of mind while they were under her care. I highly recommend her.”

“Jenna and Kristen went above and beyond in taking care of my senior dog, who is on medication for her heart and kidney illnesses. I was reassured by the daily updates they sent me about how she was doing. I know how challenging it can be to care for senior dogs, but they are truly experienced—when she didn’t eat her regular food, they made chicken and rice for her. They also took excellent care of her when she had an accident. I would highly recommend them.”

Yukari A.

“This is my first time using rover and was really anxious about dropping off my 11mo pup to a stranger. Shuvashna popped up on my search and after reading through the reviews, I felt confident she would take good care of my pup!! I was right, from the get go she was very responsive and I felt very comfortable. Pictures and videos and updates were sent during the time we were away and it made me happy seeing my guy happy!!! He was definitely having his own doggie vacation! If you are looking for someone who will take care of your dog as well as you do, Shuvashna is your best bet!!”

“I would definitely have Lihuan take care of my shiba again next time! She took great care of her, consistently provided updates throughout the day and everyday! I felt at ease and grateful!”

“Ari is amazing! He stayed with our doggie for 5 nights and 6 days. Ari sent photos and videos which we greatly appreciated. Our dog can get rashy if she's on grass for too long. She was happy, loved, and rash free when we picked her up. Thank you so much again Ari! We appreciate you! Our doggy will definitely be back :)”

“Our dog Cookie had a wonderful time with them! We got updates and photos daily during staying, and we could tell they treated our dog affectionately like their own. Also, Dean is thoughtful, flexible, and easy to communicate. Thanks to them, we enjoyed our vacation worry-free. We'll book again.”

About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.
